Moses outlines the components of the project, including Freedom Schools, community programs, voter registration, research, and work in the white community. Moses expresses civil rights workers' desire to \"get the country to actually take a look at Mississippi.\" He also indicates that they hope to bring \"real change in the state\" and to help African Americans vote in the 1964 election. Moses points out that with the ratification of the 24th Amendment to the Constitution, which ruled poll taxes illegal in federal elections, African Americans in Mississippi should be able to vote in the 1964 presidential election. The 24th Amendment was ratified on January 23, 1964.

Silver of the University of Mississippi about race relations in Oxford, Mississippi.","The clip begins in the middle of a comment by Professor James W. Silver to the unidentified reporter. Silver indicates that he is less pessimistic about race relations in Mississippi than he was several months ago, in part because he feels the people of Mississippi know changes are coming rapidly. Silver goes on to recognize that city and state officials in Mississippi have not changed their stance towards African American civil rights and integration.","Asked about student opinions of the integration of the University of Mississippi, Silver clarifies that the school is not currently integrated. While James Meredith was admitted to the school in October 1962, he graduated in August 1963, and the second African American student admitted, Cleve McDonald, was expelled from the school September 24, 1963 for \"perfectly legal reasons,\" according to Silver. He continues, expressing the students' preference for not being the center of media attention and for maintaining the University as it is, although Silver recognizes it will be impossible to do so. He adds that he is unaware of any more African Americans applying to enter the school at this time.","After a break in the clip, the reporter conducts a sound test before turning back to Silver and asking him if he advocates more integration in his classroom teaching. Silver replies that he does not consider himself a \"propagandist,\" but as a teacher of history, feels the need to prepare students for \"the inevitability of things to come which includes desegregation, and which somebody has to find some way to prepare Mississippi for.\" Asked about student reaction, Silver explains that he allows students to have their opinions and does not shove his views down anyone's throat. The reporter asks Silver if his recognition of the inevitability of integration jeopardizes his position at the University of Mississippi, to which Silver responds that he cannot predict the future and defers to the people of Mississippi, the Board of Trustees, and the legislature. He does admit that there has been \"agitation to get rid of me for a good many years.\" Finally, the reporter asks Silver what he thinks of the United States president Lyndon Johnson being a Southerner. Silver believes it is inevitable for the extremist leadership in Alabama and Mississippi to turn against Johnson because the president has pledged to follow Kennedy's civil rights program. The clip ends with the reporter asking a question that is not completely recorded.","History professor James W. Silver began teaching at the University of Mississippi in 1936. Although Silver was born in the North, his wife was from Alabama and a graduate of \"Ole Miss,\" as the University of Mississippi is commonly known. Silver's liberal approach to race relations included supporting James Meredith after the University's integration. In his farewell address to the Southern Historical Association at the end of his term as association president in November 1963, Silver called Mississippi a \"closed society\" and compared its actions in response to the Civil Rights movement to its actions before and during the Civil War. Mississippi officials, outraged at Silver's comments, began demanding his removal from the school. University trustees created a committee to gather evidence to fire Silver even though he had been tenured for more than twenty years. The committee mailed Silver the charges against him in late April 1964. Silver arranged for a leave of absence to teach at Notre Dame University that fall and left before the trustees had a chance to review the charges against him. Silver never returned to teaching at the University of Mississippi, instead teaching at Notre Dame and the University of South Florida until the end of his career.","Title supplied by cataloger."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn46016"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["College teachers--Mississippi--Oxford","History teachers--Mississippi--Oxford","Reporters and reporting--Mississippi--Oxford","Interviews--Mississippi--Oxford","Race relations","Civil rights movements--Mississippi","African Americans--Civil rights--Mississippi","College integration--Mississippi--Oxford","College students--Mississippi--Oxford","Segregation--Mississippi","Freedom of speech--Mississippi","Mississippi--Race relations--History--20th century"],"dcterms_title":["WSB-TV newsfilm clip of a reporter interviewing University of Mississippi history professor James W.

This is followed by a close-up shot of Massell speaking into a microphone. Unidentified members of the Board of Aldermen speak amongst themselves and to the the public; these shots are interspersed with close-up shots of the white audience in attendance. Next, a group of African American demonstrators are gathered silently outside of the doors of the meeting room of the Board of Aldermen; they are holding placards and carrying protest leaflets. Some of the signs read \"End discrimination in public places\" and \"Down segregation.\"","After a break in the clip, members of the Board of Aldermen continue to make public statements and conduct smaller conversations with their colleagues; there is also one quick shot of the backs of African American demonstrators waiting outside of the Board of Aldermen's doorway. Coverage of the protest outside the meeting continues after another break in the clip; as the protestors continue to demonstrate, a white man carrying documents walks through the line of demonstrators and into the meeting. As the demonstrators continue to wait outside of closed doors, the camera slowly pans over protest signs, which include \"End discrimination in hospitals,\" \"End discrimination in public places.\" The clip ends when a white man enters a doorway adjacent to the demonstrators, and a young African American woman carrying a sign hands him a leaflet as he passes through the hallway.","Prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Atlanta still had not managed to pass a public accommodations ordinance that would desegregate public facilities; in failing to do so, Atlanta had fallen behind many Southern cities in progressive civil rights legislation. Although he was also under considerable pressure from local civil rights groups, mayor Ivan Allen personally believed that segregation would drive national business opportunities away from the city. In January of 1964, Allen called upon the the city's Board of Aldermen to create local ordinances that would desegregate Atlanta public facilities.  After some disagreement, the Board of Aldermen voted in favor of asking city businesses to desegregate, though the city's legal counsel later advised that the legislative body was not granted such authority in the city charter. In an attempt to overcome this legal obstruction, lone African American state senator Leroy Johnson proposed a bill to the state's General Assembly that would empower the Board of Aldermen to pass a public accommodations ordinance; it was struck down by segregationists. Reluctantly, Allen finally accepted that the only solution to the problem would be the public accommodations section of the federal civil rights bill that would ultimately become the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Ivan Allen was the only elected official from the South that testified before Congress in support of the public accommodations section of the bill before it became law.","Title supplied by cataloger."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn46062"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["Municipal government--Georgia--Atlanta","City council members--Georgia--Atlanta","Municipal officials and employees--Georgia--Atlanta","Discrimination in public accommodations--Georgia--Atlanta","Discrimination in public accommodations--Southern States","Discrimination in restaurants--Georgia--Atlanta","Discrimination in restaurants--Southern States","Discrimination in medical care--Georgia--Atlanta","Discrimination in medical care--Southern States","Race discrimination--Georgia--Atlanta","Race discrimination--Southern States","Segregation--Southern States","Segregation--Georgia--Atlanta","Segregationists--Georgia--Atlanta","Segregationists--Southern States","African Americans--Segregation--Southern States","African Americans--Segregation--Georgia--Atlanta","African Americans--Civil rights--Southern States","African Americans--Civil rights--Georgia--Atlanta","Hospitals--Georgia--Atlanta","Hospitals--Southern States","Restaurants--Georgia--Atlanta","Restaurants--Southern States","Hotels--Georgia--Atlanta","Hotels--Southern States","Motels--Georgia--Atlanta","Motels--Southern States","Civil rights--Georgia--Atlanta","Civil rights--Southern States","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Atlanta","Civil rights demonstrations--Southern States","Civil rights movements--Southern States","Civil rights movements--Georgia--Atlanta","Civil rights workers--Georgia--Atlanta","African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Atlanta","Civil rights workers--Southern States","City halls--Georgia--Atlanta","Buildings--Georgia--Atlanta","Public buildings--Georgia--Atlanta","Politicians--Georgia--Atlanta","Meetings--Georgia--Atlanta","Audiences--Georgia--Atlanta","Microphone","Picketing--Georgia--Atlanta","Signs and signboards--Georgia--Atlanta","Pamphlets--Georgia--Atlanta","Racism--Georgia--Atlanta","Georgia--Race relations--History--20th century","Atlanta (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century","Southern States--Race relations--History--20th century","Georgia--Social conditions--20th century","Southern States--Social conditions--20th century","Atlanta (Ga.)--Buildings, structures, etc."],"dcterms_title":["WSB-TV newsfilm clip of Atlanta Board of Aldermen holding a public hearing on segregation, Atlanta, Georgia, 1964"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.

Motley is accompanied by Atlanta attorney William H. Alexander, the local counsel and original attorney in the Willis vs. Pickrick case, who does not speak. The clip's audio track is inconsistent; some comments may not be completely recorded.","The clip begins with Constance Baker Motley, seated at a microphone, reading from a prepared statement that outlines the Pickrick Cafeteria's violation of Section II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, outlawing discrimination in public facilities engaged in interstate commerce. In this statement, she briefly describes the Pickrick Cafeteria's denial of service to her African American clients, the plaintiffs George Willis, Jr., Woodrow Lewis, and Albert Dunn. The clip jumps, and a reporter asks Motley to convey her opinion regarding Lester Maddox's statements of refusal to integrate his restaurant. She explains to the reporter that this is the reason that they are in court, and that Maddox has not only stated that he would not serve African Americans, but he has actively refused them. She hopes that the court will grant an order that will end Maddox's discriminatory practices. A reporter asks how long it ordinarily takes to receive a court order; Motley notes that a hearing has been set for July 17, 1964, and that it will take place on the same date as a hearing for a related case brought by the Heart of Atlanta Motel.","Motley is then asked if she expects any further \"tests\" of the Pickrick, by which the reporter means do any more African Americans plan on trying to integrate the restaurant; she replies that she is not planning any tests, but she does not know if people will try to get served at the restaurant. Another reporter follows up by asking if others attempt to integrate the restaurant and are turned away in the same fashion as the current case's plaintiffs, would their complaints be handled in the same way; Motley replies that any others who would wish to intervene would only need to wait for the outcome of the current lawsuit.","The clip jumps several times, truncating several inquiries from reporters, based on Motley's responses, the questions reflect an anticipation on the part of reporters that Maddox will act in contempt of court; that potential Civil Rights Act lawsuits are under way in Alabama; and that reporters expect additional lawsuits to be brought against Civil Rights Act violators. After another break in the clip, Motley explains to a reporter that the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund does not find cases to file themselves, but rather they respond to requests to assist local attorneys by joining a lawsuit on a plaintiff's behalf. Local attorneys seek the assistance of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and then the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund determines whether they will agree to help with the case. In some cases, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund assists individuals seeking local legal representation.","The clip breaks again, and Motley notes that she is pleasantly surprised by Civil Rights Act compliance in Jackson, Mississippi; after another break in the clip, she explains that she seeks an injunction that will force Maddox to end discriminatory actions against African Americans. A reporter asks what will happen if Maddox acts against the injunction; Motley explains that it will be up to Maddox to comply, but if he does not, then it will be up the court to take further action against him. The clip breaks again, and Motley comments that there are African Americans that have been refused by other establishments, and that she expects that there are other areas in the South where there will be resistance to the implementation of the Civil Rights Act. The clip breaks again, and Motley explains that she can account for three actual cases that involve refusal of service, which include the Willis vs. Pickrick Restaurant case, and two cases the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund anticipates filing in Alabama. She cannot be sure, however, of how many African Americans have been refused service since the passage of the Civil Rights Act.","Willis vs. Pickrick Restaurant was the first case brought under Section II of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, enacted on July 2, 1964. In defiance of the Civil Rights Act, Lester Maddox, proprietor of the Pickrick Cafeteria, denied service to three black ministers, George Willis, Jr., Woodrow Lewis, and Albert Dunn on July 4. Maddox chased them out of his restaurant with a gun, accompanied by several of his white customers who threatened the ministers with axe handles. A federal district court ordered Maddox to serve black customers.","Maddox and Atlanta businessman Moreton Rolleston, owner of the Heart of Atlanta Motel, both sued to challenge the constitutionality of Section II of the Civil Rights Act. The cases were paired and tried before a three-judge circuit court in Atlanta. On July 22, 1964, a federal court upheld the Civil Rights Act and issued an injunction beginning August 11 against both businesses prohibiting them from denying service to customers based on color or race. Both men were ordered to admit black patrons within twenty days. Rolleston appealed his decision to the Supreme Court (Heart of Atlanta Motel Inc. v. United States), which unanimously upheld the lower court's injunction on December 14, 1964. Maddox closed the Pickrick on August 13, and reopened the business on September 26 as the Lester Maddox Cafeteria, where he pledged to serve only \"acceptable\" Georgians. During a trial for contempt of court on September 29, Maddox argued against the charges because he was no longer offering service to out-of-state travelers or integrationists. On February 5, 1965 a federal court ruled that Maddox was in contempt of court for failing to obey the injunction and assigned fines of two hundred dollars a day for failing to serve African Americans. Maddox ultimately closed his restaurant on February 7, 1965 rather than integrate it; he claimed that President Lyndon Johnson and communists put him out of business.","Title supplied by cataloger."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn42587"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["Segregation--Georgia--Atlanta","Discrimination in restaurants--Georgia--Atlanta","African Americans--Civil rights--Georgia--Atlanta","African American lawyers--Georgia--Atlanta","Trials--Georgia--Atlanta","Race discrimination--Georgia--Atlanta","Race relations","Segregationists","Segregationists--Georgia","Civil rights--Southern States","African Americans--Civil rights--Southern States","Segregation--Southern States","Segregationists--Southern States","Offenses against the person--Southern States","Race discrimination--Southern States","Southern States--Race relations","Discrimination in restaurants--Southern States","Restaurants--Southern States","Interstate commerce--Southern States","Offenses against the person--Georgia","Interstate commerce--Georgia--Atlanta","Government, Resistance to--Georgia--Atlanta","Civil rights--Georgia--Atlanta","Restaurants--Georgia--Atlanta","Motels--Georgia--Atlanta","African American lawyers","Women lawyers--United States","Lawyers--United States","Lawyers--Georgia--Atlanta","Civil rights workers--Georgia--Atlanta","African American women lawyers--United States","African American women civil rights workers--United States","Civil rights workers--United States","Women civil rights workers","African Americans--Crimes against--Georgia--Atlanta","Trials--Civil rights","Injunctions--Georgia--Atlanta","Atlanta (Ga.)--Race relations","Atlanta (Ga.)--Race relations--History--20th century"],"dcterms_title":["WSB-TV newsfilm clip of attorney Constance Baker Motley commenting on the lawsuit against Lester Maddox and the Pickrick restaurant for discrimination against African Americans, Atlanta, Georgia, 1964"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.

A sign advertises a copy of the Declaration of Independence selling for thirty-five cents. A black-colored bird in a cage whistles in the background. On July 2, 1964 president Lyndon B. Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act which prohibited segregation in businesses serving the public. Two days later three African American ministers unsuccessfully tried to integrate the Pickrick and were turned away by a gun pointed at them by Lester Maddox. Maddox publicly announced he would go to jail before serving African Americans, even after being charged in court for pointing a gun at the men and continued to keep ax handles, \"Pickrick drumsticks\" near the door of his restaurant in order to keep African Americans out. On July 22 in a case against the Pickrick and the white-only Heart of Atlanta Motel, owned by attorney Moreton Rolleston, a federal court upheld the Civil Rights act and issued an injunction beginning August 11 against both businesses prohibiting them from denying service to customers based on color or race. Lawyers appealed the case to the United States Supreme Court which heard the case in October; while waiting for the court to hear the case the Heart of Atlanta began accepting African American customers and Maddox closed the Pickrick on August 13. On September 26 Maddox opened the Lester Maddox Cafeteria in the Pickrick's old location and announced he would serve \"acceptable\" Georgians. During a trial for contempt of court on September 29, Maddox argued that he was not in contempt because he was no longer offering service to out-of-state travelers or integrationists.

Several breaks interrupt the clip; some comments may not be recorded completely.","The clip begins with Dr. King, who is seen in profile, speaking to the audience at a rally where his breath can be seen in the cold. King reminds the audience of the timeless nature of freedom's struggle and \"the urgency of now.\" He seeks to dispel several myths that work against the goals of the civil rights movement, including that the time is not right or that African Americans are not ready for freedom. Furthering his point, he quotes Old Testament prophet Amos and statesman Thomas Jefferson. King asserts that \"the problems of Atlanta will not work themselves out.\" He also declares that the oppressed must demand freedom by \"revolt[ing] peacefully, openly, and cheerfully\" with the goal of \"a community at peace with itself.\" King compares freedom to food and life; while a bit of bread may satisfy hunger, both freedom and life must be had completely or not at all. He emphasizes the link between freedom and the nation and proclaims that African Americans, who had been undaunted by the hardships of slavery, will achieve freedom one day. He states that \"both God's will and the heritage of our nation speak through our echoing demands.\" Dr. King calls for Atlanta, known by the sobriquet \"the city too busy to hate,\" to narrow \"the gulf between Atlanta's profession and Atlanta's practice.\" He says that Atlanta must begin working towards freedom for its citizens, because the time is coming when the superficial remedies of the past will no longer suffice. King calls upon listeners to show they are willing to achieve freedom through suffering, jail-going, and risking their lives if necessary. Near the end of the series, there is a brief shot of reviewing stand, covered in bunting, from which King is speaking. The last clip returns to semi-profile shot of King speaking.","In March 1960, students from the six historically African American schools that would make up the Atlanta University Center published \"An Appeal for Human Rights\" and began organizing sit-ins and other demonstrations. In October 1963, nine civil rights groups in Atlanta organized the Atlanta Summit Leadership Conference to focus on complete desegregation of public accommodations, employment, education, health, housing, law enforcement, and electoral politics. The Summit Leadership Conference organized the December 15 rally to protest segregation in the city and hoped to replicate the success of August's \"March on Washington\" by gathering ten thousand participants from congregations around the city. Unseasonably cold weather limited the number of participants to only three thousand.","Title supplied by cataloger.","IMLS Grant, 2008.","Digibeta Center Cut (4 x 3) downconvert from HDD5 1080/23.98PsF film transfer."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn40895"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["Civil rights movements--Georgia--Atlanta","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Atlanta","Mass meetings--Georgia--Atlanta","African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Atlanta","Civil rights workers--Georgia--Atlanta","African Americans--Civil rights--Georgia--Atlanta","Passive resistance--Georgia--Atlanta","Direct action--Georgia--Atlanta","Segregation--Georgia--Atlanta","African Americans--Politics and government","Nonviolence--Georgia--Atlanta","Protest marches--Georgia--Atlanta"],"dcterms_title":["Series of WSB-TV newsfilm clips of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking about freedom and the civil rights movement at an outdoor rally held in Atlanta, Georgia, 1963 December 15"],"dcterms_type":["MovingImage"],"dcterms_provenance":["Walter J.

T. Walden and an unidentified African American man speak to reporters about the work of the Summit Leadership Conference, an organization to coordinate civil rights work in Atlanta. The clip's audio is inconsistent; some statements may be recorded incompletely. The clip begins with African American attorney A. T. Walden, co-chair of the Summit Leadership Conference (SLC), reporting on meetings between the conference leaders and local organizations, such as the local hotel and restaurant associations and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. During these meetings SLC members presented African American \"areas of concern\" in a document titled, \"Action for Democracy.\" Walden states that after members of the Summit Leadership Conference met with the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber made a public statement approving the integration of public service businesses and supporting requests for improved economic opportunities for African Americans. Furthermore, the chamber stated it would cooperate with any groups seeking to address the issues outlined in SLC's report. Walden also speaks of a maeeting of nearly one hundred. The group agreed upon a set of unnamed principles. Walden concludes by speaking of an event that will be held before the fifteenth of December. When asked by an off-screen reporter asks if the event will be similar to the March on Washington held in August of that year, Walden affirms that it will resemble the march and expects it to be \"quite as orderly in its deportment as was the Washington crowd.\" Another off-screen reporter asks a question that is hard to hear; Walden replies that while the number of participants in the event is difficult to anticipate, the conference hopes for \"many thousands\" since they are asking religious leaders to encourage and to lead members of their congregation in the event. On December 15 the Summit Leadership Conference held the \"Pilgrimage for Democracy\" march to Hurt Park in Atlanta with the stated goals of sharing the work of the committee with the community; providing a unity of purpose in the civil rights movement; and demonstrating a willingness to work until objectives are met. Civil rights leaders including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke at the \"Pilgrimage for Democracy\"; unfortunately unseasonably cold weather kept the total number of participants to around three thousand, much less than the amount for which the Summit Leadership Conference hoped. Next, an unidentified African American man explains that the Summit Leadership Conference is a coordinating group, and that the Summit Leadership Conference will be supportive if an organization wanted to hold a protest or demonstration before the December 15 event. Walden then confirms the conference will meet with the city's personnel board soon as the last scheduled meeting between the organization and city leadership. He also indicates that during discussions with other groups the conference was \"received respectfully and cordially\" and that they did not set up deadlines during their meetings. Finally Walden mentions the consensus of a meeting earlier was to pursue a course mentioned before; it is unclear to what meeting or to what decision Walden refers. The Summit Leadership Conference was created as a coordinating body for civil rights groups in Atlanta in October 1963. The group supported a document entitled \"Action for Democracy\" listing several areas of concern in the African American community including education, health, housing, political activity, public accommodations, and employment; leaders from the conference met with white city and business leaders and discussed the document in the first months of its organization.","Title supplied by cataloger."],"dc_format":["video/mp4"],"dcterms_identifier":["Clip number: wsbn45766"],"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":null,"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Original found in the WSB-TV newsfilm collection."],"dcterms_subject":["Civil rights workers--Georgia--Atlanta","African American civil rights workers--Georgia--Atlanta","Civil rights movements--Georgia--Atlanta","African American lawyers--Georgia--Atlanta","Lawyers--Georgia--Atlanta","Negotiation--Georgia--Atlanta","Civil rights demonstrations--Georgia--Atlanta","African Americans--Politics and government","Discrimination in public accommodations--Georgia--Atlanta","Press conferences--Georgia--Atlanta","Discrimination in employment--Georgia--Atlanta","Social justice--Georgia--Atlanta"],"dcterms_title":["WSB-TV newsfilm clip of attorney A.
